Seems odd though, administration over there is young, hungry, and seem to be all about building something. I don't know much about the local demographics, is that an issue? Assuming older more farm based type people in Aurora vs. what Lawrenceburg has attracted with the boat? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to start a discussion on turf vs. grass... or turf and who should get it and who should pay for it. Yoda yoda, go do it in another thread. I want to know... who is getting turf in 2020 and beyond, other than that, I really do not care. This one, or this one, 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That taxpayers responsibility? To find educational opportunities for their children that best matches their values, morals, and beliefs. And that could be the geographically based government school, a charter school, a private school, home school, etc. 35 minutes ago, DannEllenwood said: This one, or this one, 🙂 The first isn't Yoda, just an immature member of the same race as Yoda.

foxbat Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 5 hours ago, btownqbcoach said: It is even more beneficial for smaller schools (in smaller areas) than it would be for a school in Indy to have turf. What I mean by that... My gf is an AT at Noblesville (obviously a huge school) but this applies for a school like Sheridan, as well. When their softball field is too wet, they can go and still have a turf practice just indoors at Finch Creek or Grand Park. Where we are at we don't really have that kind of an opportunity, thus making the turf football field that much more valuable. I bet if you and Salem both went in on turf there would be some sort of a discount. I know BNL is looking into doing the football field, softball, and baseball. My son's 14U baseball team recently held practice outside right after that bout of snow/rain that we had. Baseball field was still soft, so they used the turf football field at Harrison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaSalle Lions 1976 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 With our current health situation and past history of infections supposedly cause by turf, what do schools need to do to get their turf in shape for next season (I would assume there is someone here who is an expert on turf management).

JustRules Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 15 minutes ago, Muda69 said: And expensive. Over a 10-year period on more expensive than maintaining a grass field from everything I've heard. And the fact smaller schools can now justify continues to prove that point. The up front cost is much more so you have to be able to do that, but the long term savings offsets it. The replacement cost when the first turf wears out (seems to be 9-10 years) is less while the ongoing cost of maintaining a grass field doesn't change so the ROI is probably even better for future iterations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
